An Aged Voter.

Mr.. Nathan Griffith, who lives at Cal
vert, in the Ninth district, has voted at
seventy regular state elections in Mary
land, and had it not been for a severe
illness some years ago. which prevented
him from voting, he would have voted at
seventy one regul"r elections. Besides
this he has voted at several special elec
tionS. He cast his first vote in 1916 at
Rising Sun. and continued voting there
until 1854, when new district was made,
and Brick Meeting House selected as the
voting place.
Mr.. Griffith is now In his ninetv-third
year. Never has the writer had chance
to talk with a person whose recollection
Of the events oi his boyhood and man
hood, it as clear as this respected citizen
He told the writer OF almost every change
that has been made in the election lava
of this State since 1916, and talked about
them with as much clearness as though
they had been yesterdays evsnts.
